Description
This coffee maker cleaner removes the oils, tannins, and residue that build up inside coffee makers, pots, thermoses, and travel mugs.
Clean Machine. Better Cup.
Coffee leaves behind oils, tannins, and proteins that stain surfaces and affect flavor over time. This coffee maker cleaner lifts that buildup from glass, stainless steel, and internal brewing parts.
Regular cleaning helps reduce bitterness and stale odors so each cup tastes the way it should. For deeper mineral buildup, use Bar Keeper’s Friend Coffee Maker Descaler first.
HOW TO USE
Improve the flavor of your coffee and eliminate coffee stains by removing oil and tannin buildup with our coffee maker cleaner. 1) Add one ounce of Bar Keepers Friend Coffee Maker Cleaner for every eight ounces of COLD water needed to completely fill the coffee maker’s water reservoir. Do not exceed the maximum fill line for your reservoir. 2) Remove any disposable filters or coffee pods from the coffee maker. 3) Place the empty carafe or cup under the coffee discharge. 4) Start the brew cycle, and repeat until the reservoir is completely empty. (For coffee makers with a clean cycle, initiate the clean cycle and allow the cycle to run completely.) 5) Leave the cleaning solution in the carafe for 30 minutes. 6) Discard the used Coffee Maker Cleaner from the carafe or cup and clean the carafe or cup thoroughly. 7) Fill the coffee maker reservoir with clean, cold water, and run a second brew cycle to rinse out product. 8) Dispose of used rinse water and clean carafe or cup again.
